So Orac is at it again. Yes, the poster child of Skeptic alpologists has written yet another piece of “Insolence” that is more “Ignorance” than anything else. It’s another opportunity to play “Logical Fallacy Whack-A-Mole” for yours truly. Let the whacking commence. Once you get past all of the ususal “crank this, quack that” blather …

Dr. Jack Wolfson – 1 Skepducks – 0. That’s right. David Gorski and Co. The Paleo Cardiologist retained his license after a 4 to 1 decision by the Arizona Board of Osteopathic Examiners. Yeah.

I tried. I really, really tried. David Gorski just can’t help himself. I must once again take advantage of another teachable moment for those of you who are new to the term I coined known as Narcisscientism.
